I understand your quandary and your choice as being best for your family but just was curious if your rights were explained to you. Good luck in the future.
We’ve thought a lot about the whole sueing the district.
I think we finally came down that if we did sue them we would probably have to put my daughter back into the public schools system where we live.
We love the private school where she is. It’s small (300 kids from k-8), and there are only 20 kids in a classroom. My daughters twin sister is gifted and the school seems to be a good mix for both girls. They have music, art, spanish for my gifted daughter, and pull out for reading/language arts for my special needs daughter.
It looks like the school is working. My daughter (5th grade) just had a seizure in October, and we’ve been concerned if it hit her academically. Two years ago, she had horrible phonics skills (pre-reading) something like less than 25%. It shows up on the WIAT II pseudoword decoding. Yesterday, she took the test and was at a 10th grade level or 75%. Her spelling went from 43% to 66%. What surprised me the most is that one of her math scores went from 73% (already good) to 93% (excellent).
Her reading is still very slow, and it has gotten slower since the seizure (speech and memory issues since the seizure). However, it looks like she has good solid academic skills right now to help her manage the negative impact of the seizures and medication.
